Medusa Head Relief. Recreation based on the sculpture located in the Prado Museum in Madrid, from 1770 – 1800, which in turn is a copy of the Rondanini Medusa located in the Glyptotheca of Munich.

The Gorgon Medusa, in Greek mythology, is a terrifying mythological creature, with her snake hair and petrifying gaze. Described as one of the three Gorgon sisters, the myth tells that she was originally a beautiful woman punished by Athena due to a love affair with Poseidon in the goddess’s temple. The curse transformed her hair into venomous snakes and condemned those who looked at her to turn into stone.

In the myth, the hero Perseus, with the help of the gods, defeated Medusa by using his shield as a mirror to locate her without having to look directly at her. Perseus cut off her head and used it as a weapon, finally delivering it to Athena, who placed it on her shield. In other representations of Athena, Medusa’s head appears on the goddess’s breastplate or aegis. Medusa became a symbol of danger, and her image has transcended mythology, influencing art, literature, and popular culture throughout the centuries.

Decorating with reproductions of classical reliefs, such as this Medusa head, is a timeless way to beautify our home. These bas-reliefs add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any indoor and outdoor environment, such as libraries, living rooms, gardens, and offices.
